Summary

On Momonga's ship Hancock insists each of her meals weigh at least a hundred kilos so she can pass the food to Luffy, all while drifting into fantasies about him and petrifying two Marines who try to spy on her quarters. Days earlier, Chopper dreams of finding his friends only to wake to a pair of giant birds jabbing at his face. Treated as a toy, he is rolled about and hurled into the forest below. Recalling that he carries Rayleigh's vivre card, he sets out for food but is knocked cold by one of the island's natives.

Key Events

Chopper comes to bound and swinging above a bubbling pot, slated to be the centerpiece of the locals' tanuki hot pot. When the giant birds swoop in and scatter the natives, he seizes the moment, shifts into Heavy Point, and breaks loose. The narration places him on Torino Kingdom, a realm ruled by birds and rumored to hold treasure. Meanwhile Sanji arrives on the dreamlike Momoiro Island, where everything is pink and frilly, and is found by a bashful figure named Elizabeth who tends his face before fleeing.

Notes

Chasing after Elizabeth to return a handkerchief, Sanji passes pink animals with flowing blond manes and wonders if he has reached paradise. When she hands him a dress to try and he finally sees her face, he realizes she is an okama, a cross-dressing man, and that everyone on the island, animals included, is the same. The narrator names it the second Maiden Island, home of the Kamabakka Kingdom, and as a swarm of okama chase him with the dress, Sanji declares the place hell. The anime adds Chopper's opening dream, his capture and pot escape, and Sanji's conversation with Elizabeth.
